> "_We understand migrations of this magnitude can be challenging_"
No, this specific migration should have never happened in the first place.
Manifest V3 is an absolute disaster that makes developers' lives hard for no reason other than Google being desperate to crackdown on adblockers.
No additional security. No additional features. Nothing to make the pill sweeter. Just Google abusing its dominant position in the browser market to relentlessly push for years for a new standard that makes HTTP requests and intercepting requests at runtime ridiculously hard, so it can tame uBlock and friends.
Manifest V3 is a technological abomination that greatly limits what extensions can do, and it should have never seen the light of the day.
I will keep hating it with every single cell in my body, and I wish very unhappy lives to the Google employees who fought so much to push this technological abortion.
My browser extensions will stubbornly remain Manifest V2 only. Even if that means being compatible only with Firefox. And I hope that the folks at Mozilla won't get strange ideas and will keep supporting Manifest V2 forever.
